CHERRIES, 



Plant Hearts and Birjarreaus 20 feet apart each way, and Dukes and Morellos 12 to 15 feet. 

 Cherries will not succeed on wet soil. The class Hearts and Bigarreaus or "sweet cherries" are even more 

 unlike the class Dukes or Morellos or " sour cherries " in habit of tree and growth than in fruit. The trees of the 

 sweet class are to be preferred for shade, for which purpose they are excellent.

 The .Tapan Dlnm trees I bought of you last spring were the 

 finest trees I have ever bought, and I have bought trees for the 

 last eleven years; every one of them has lived and made good 

 growth. Next spring I shall want 100 more and strawberry 

 plants to set an acre. PHILIP CLYDE.

 The trees arrived yesterday In good order and plants some 

 days previous. To say I am pleased does not half express it. 

 The trees are the very best 1 ever bought, and I shall be de- 

 lighted to show them to the croakers and tell them they are 

 New Jersey stock. I shall recommend you to my friends, and 

 you may expect to hear from me again. I have purchasod^^ 

 good many hundred dollars' worth of goods in this line, but 

 never received better returns. PHILIP HYDE.
